every day i am reborn.
created anew by your
hands and your love.

my soul opens like a lotus flower,
and stretches out to soak in your
warmth and your touch.

you have given me so much.
(more than i deserve). i ask for
nothing else, if i can always know you.

i ask for nothing else.
i have always known you.

my bones, they have ached for 
my mind to recognize you.
my blood has bled for me to
acknowledge you.

now i have, 
i find i am lighter than
ever before.
i find i am sweeter than
ever before.

i find that i am whole,
happily lying in your palm,
from now, until forever.
